When you feel helpless, stressed, and your thoughts are racing from one fear to the next, take a minute.

Say out loud (or whisper) five things you see, hear, feel or -

Take a few slow belly breaths and focus only on the breath or

Do one small thing on your to do list

The antidote to anxiety is to shift your attention from the possible road ahead to the drivers seat you’re in. #stress

I had a bad #migraine #today when the #stress was finally relieved. I threw up so hard that my nose started bleeding. I'm in my room now and the others are in class. Luckily I had an apple in my room so I was able to eat a bit since my breakfast is now in the toilet. This #wellbeing #holiday was very much needed! #suomimastodon #finland

Two days ago, I suffered another attempted robbery near my home. This time, these guys were armed. I took a severe blow to the chest, and they left with a broken arm and a broken jaw and they lost their old revolver.
I didn't file a complaint or call the police, and even though there are cameras on the street, no one came. The old revolver barely worked, which is why it failed when they tried to shoot me. And that was his downfall.
Yesterday I was able to access the camera log, and I'm trying to track these idiots down. You can guess it won't be to turn them over to the authorities.
I have old traumas, but I also have a lot of hatred toward these kinds of people, and if I find them, they'll pay dearly for the stress I've been carrying for the past two days.

You deserve to take it easy if you want to. Sometimes you may even need to rest.

Society is stressful enough for nonbinary people. There is no need to pressure yourself along with it.

Greenery is important but usually difficult in large cities: the alternative - go up!
" Vincent Callebaut's Tao Zhu Yin Yuan in Taipei, Taiwan, a 21-floor tower that is shaped like DNA's double helix, was completed in 2024. Its 23,000 plants absorb an estimated 130 tons of CO2 each year, and their cooling effect on the façade reduces the need for air conditioning by 30%." https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20250602-how-high-rise-forests-can-transform-city-life-and-make-us-happier

"A bias against cannabis still exists today. While the roots of weed prohibition have many unfortunate layers, storytelling played a huge role in negative public opinion around the plant. Some publications continue to feed into the modern version of “Reefer Madness,” what I call Reefer Madness 2.0. One article from a respected legacy publication just last year centered on how to get your neighbor evicted for smelling like weed. Not only is this type of storytelling cruel and inhumane (what if they are a medical patient, or a child with epilepsy?), most importantly, it’s not based on science."

Nice sunday read. The article goes on to propose to 1. Reframe Weed As Wellness, 2. Lean On Peer-Review Studies and 3. Dare To Question Existing Tech Platforms (and censorship). It advocates for invite-only discord grow diaries, yet fails to mention the #fediverse and #mastodon as great tools to keep #freedomofexpression and #humanrights going.

Lets get that corrected. Help me share this and let Rolling Stone know about our existence.
